TOY.

Application led June 14, 1921. Serial No. 477,381.

in Toys, of which the following is a specifi-v cation.

This toy is designed as an illusion in the production of articles such as bills. it the operator runs in a plain sheet of paper and at the same time rolls out a bill, thev plain sheet being taken up by the machine but apparently being changed in the operation of the device to a bill.

The invention is illustrated. in the accompanying drawings as follows Fig. l shows a front elevation of the toy.

Fig. 2 a section on the line 2-2 in Fig. l.

Fig. 3 a section on the line 33 in Fig, l.

The toy is provided with a frame l formed of sheet metal. lThis hasthe top 2, the downwardly extending sides 3, the lnturned bottom portions 4, .a connecting plate 5 se*- cured to the upper parts of the inturned portions and a cross piece 6 secured to the under-side of the connection portion.. This may be secured by any desired method. As shown the connecting plate is secured to the inturned rtions 4 and to the cross plate 6 by rivets The bottom of the cross plate with this construction will be on the same plane as the bottoms of the inturned `portions 4 and extends laterally so as to give the toy stability. The frame is preferably corrugated to stiften it. Rolls 8 and 9 are mounted on shafts 10 and l1 respectively and these shafts are journaled in the sides by simply extending two perforations in the metal. The shafts have the squared ends l2 and either may be operated by a crank ,1.3.

A. sheet 14 is wound over one of the rolls,

With

passed between the rolls and has'its opposite end wound over the other roll in the opposite direction.

In the operation of the device a bill such as 16 is wound over the roll 8 with the sheet 14, the roll 8 being turned by the crank 13 and the sheet being wound over the roll 8 from the roll 9. When it is desired to operate the device a plain sheet of paper as 15 is placed in the bite between the rolls 9 and 8'at the opposite side from that into which the bill 16 has been delivered. The crank 13 is then attached to the shaft ll and by turning the roll 9 the plain sheet of paper is rolled on to the roll 9 with the sheet 14 and thus is entirely concealed and simultaneousl with the rolling in of the sheet 15 the billl which has been previously placed on the roll 8 is passed out of the opposite side of thebite and at exactly the same speed at which the sheet 15 is being carried into the device. The illusion is, therefore, quite pronounced.

This part of the toy is not new. This invention relates particularly to the formation of the frame as shown.

What we claim as new is In a toy, the combination of two rolls; and a metal frame for said rolls comprising a sheet metal plate extending over the rolls and bent downwardly from the top to form the sides and inwardly from the sides to form bottom portions, aconnecting plate secured above the inturned bottom portions, and a cross plate secured below the connecting plates, and bearings for the rolls arranged in saidsides.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands.
